Perplexity passed the paywall problem?

Perhaps perplexity has privileged pipelines for perpetrating its pumping purposes.

I had no paywall on my end, probably a regional thing.

Had a paywall in memmy but not when opening the link in mobile firefox.

Plenty of paywalled sites have workarounds (Bypass Paywall Clean extension basically does that for you)

I always use Read Mode when any paywall comes up. For 90% of tries, i can read the whole article.

Also in a more pleasant manner, big lettering and no ads:

"Reading Mode", it's a Google app.

Firefox has a similar function.

I'm officially sick of this so-called AI. There's nothing intelligent about it, it's simply functionality modifying programs spewing recursive bullshit written by other AIs (or possibly by itself) that were all trained on stolen human work once upon a time, but are now just gibberish.
